Hard week

Not feeling well today, think it is just exhaustion. Need to rest a bit. Took all day of Wednesday to move the kids and lambs from last year, a few does taking a break, a few old does, three ewes that wouldn't get caught when I loaded the sheep and moved them to another pasture, a few dinks and a couple of wethers to the bottom pasture. Took a lot of calling sheep-sheep and goooatie to get most of them to follow, three didn't and had to be caught and dragged and rode on the gater. Then I had to move panels and gates to lock them in so they wouldn't crawl under the fence and beat me back to the barn. Then halter the horses and move them up to the house. Then move the first fifteen bred does to the old calf lot and barn, clean out the old lambing barn, move all the feeders and start to set up the kidding and lambing pens. Cleaned the lambing barn, need to get fresh straw. My big male Pyrenees Wolf, who loves the goats is going down in his hips, can hardly get up, not much I can do for him, he is huge and old, just give him some pain medicine. His loud, deep bark will be missed. Some of the does will be shorn before kidding, started yesterday with Jewell, she is feeling much better, had a ton of hair on her, all have to be wormed and vaccinated. February 22nd is coming fast and somebody always jumps the gun, hopefully I will be ready.
